Here is what could be Mumbai Indians’ weakness
Mumbai Indians (MI) are the most successful franchise in the entire tenure of the Indian Premier League (IPL). With four titles, they are aiming to notch the fifth title. However, the former Indian cricketer, Sunil Gavaskar has pointed one of the weaknesses that can drown Rohit Sharma’s leading side.
He says that the side lacks professional spinners while the others have dominance in the regards. Pointing out another flaw, he has opened up about the middle over batting of the side. Gavaskar says that they will have to follow decisive strategies to decide who will be batting at number four and five.
Here is what could be Mumbai Indians’ weakness
“Yes, you can say that because they do not have experienced spinners that other sides have,” Sunil Gavaskar told Sports Tak.
“The other thing that can be a weakness is middle order. They will have to think who will bat at No.4 and No.5 position. If Quinton de Kock plays, then he will open with either Rohit Sharma or Suryakumar Yadav. Ishan Kishan might come in at No.4, he can also open the innings. Kieron Pollard can come in at No.5. Maybe Hardik Pandya can be promoted to No.4. But if that doesn’t happen then who will play at No.4?” added the prolific veteran batsman.
However, it is to be noted that the extravaganza is just two days away and the fans are counting hours.
